• Wolf Creek Falls - Just half a mile ahead is the Kaymoor Trail, a challenging 16-mile path that runs alongside the gorge. However, it’s not just for seasoned hikers! Only 500 feet down the trail, you’ll find Wolf Creek Falls, cascading gracefully over a series of rapids.

Note: The tour spans over 62 miles, includes more than 69 audio stories, and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

• Fayetteville - If the name rings a bell, it should. Fayetteville is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, the young Frenchman who became a key advisor and general to George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
• Canyon Rim Visitor Center - Welcome to New River Gorge National Park! From the towering heights of its iconic bridge to the deep shadows of its renowned coal mines, this newly established National Park is truly unique in America.
• Tunney Hunsaker Bridge - Named after Tunney Hunsaker, a police chief from Fayetteville, Hunsaker is also known for another achievement: He was Muhammad Ali’s first professional opponent! Although Hunsaker lost the fight, he certainly didn’t make it easy for Ali.
• Concho Rim Overlook - From this vantage point, you can gaze upon a dramatic horseshoe-shaped bend in the New River. The detour takes us slightly off the main path, but it offers one of the most iconic views in New River Gorge.
• Oak Hill - In 1952, on the last night of the year, a snowstorm swept across the South. Williams found himself stranded in Montgomery, Alabama, where he hired a college student named Charlie Carr to drive him all the way to Ohio.
• Dunloup Creek Falls - Approaching Dunloup Creek Falls, where Dunloup Creek meets the New River, the water cascades 20 feet down a breathtaking sandstone shelf.
• Mount Hope - Like many towns in this region of West Virginia, Mount Hope’s history began with the discovery of coal. In the late 1800s, miners uncovered coal at nearby Turkey Knob, and soon the streets of Mount Hope were bustling with hardworking miners and their families.
• Thomas Burford Pugh Memorial Bridge - We’re about to cross the Thomas Burford Pugh Bridge, which spans the New River at the small town of Prince. Although crossing the bridge is free today, it wasn’t always so. In the 1930s, drivers had to pay a significant fee of 25 cents, which was a considerable amount during the Great Depression!
• Quinnimont - At one point, nearly 500 people resided in Quinnimont, with almost everyone having ties to the nearby mines.
• Layland Miners Memorial - Ahead are the remnants of Layland, a former coal town. Look to our left shortly for a collection of abandoned coal company houses. These dilapidated buildings were owned by the local mining company, which rented them to their underprivileged workers.
• Meadow Bridge - We are now passing through the small town of Meadow Bridge. While we’ve encountered many coal towns today, this is our first true timber town. The nearby Meadow River Lumber Company once harvested and sold millions of feet of lumber.
• Sandstone Falls - Sandstone Falls are the largest series of falls on the entire New River! These falls were formed over millennia as the force of the New River eroded the softer rock beneath the sandstone layers.
